Consciousness is fixation

God flows eternal like a river

Modern day Christianity is cucked and it’s deliberate but when you dig deeper read up on the saints like Augustine or Aquinas way they describe God is nothing compared to the fluff you’re taught

Medieval Christianity is based and I ain’t even a religious guy just the way they talk about Christ just feels right

Trust me i get it. My blood brother is catholic we talk about these dudes all the time

everything is predetermined

there is no free will

nothing you do matters

Time is the vehicle for all experience you can only infer the future not predict or guarentee it

Do you believe in the middle realms between heaven and hell?

time is an illusion

In a sense i think youre right but only the true god experiences all of time simultaneously

As lesser forms we will probably always be bound by time until the end of all being

The true god is in stasis

He can see but he cannot manipulate

God is infinite

But this world is not by the laws of conservation of energy and matter

Therefore this universe is not the totality of god nor a direct representation of his will

I do not believe jesus is actually the incarnation of the ultimate god

There are many dieties between man and god

God is the totality of being. But the trade off is he cannot actually do anything except observe and work down thru knowledge to lifeforms via higher beings who also cannot manipulate matter

i was raised as a roman catholic

i've practiced buddhism and taoism from 2012 until a few years ago

i subconsciously meditated and experienced ego death as a teenager

i never did psychedelics because i don't give in to peer pressure

i'm an agnostic theist still inspired by roman catholicism/christianity, buddhism, and taoism

i'm 35 years old now and i think spiritual and philosophical discussions are meaningless unless you're trying to look for people to follow or share the same ideologies or find ranting and preaching fun

people who have a disability are lucky to receive benefits because they can practice buddhism and taoism while living better than most people who work and have no disability

having a lot of money isn't really important if you have enough benefits to help you eat every day and pay rent and bills

i think if there is an afterlife, people who don't work or are poor will have better rewards than people who work or are rich

our current world might just be a test for what's about to come in the next life if there is one

with all the chaotic stuff happening in this world especially for the past 10 years it's hard to not think this is a simulated reality

do whatever you want but don't harm anyone, be greedy, and go completely broke that you can't pay the rent and bills or buy food

I appreciate you sharing your story

I think the chaos is proof of the lack of structure youd expect in an un-simulated reality. Its free will at work

Im not christian but i think its half true and i respect the idea that a rich man has less of a chance of reaching heaven/nirvana than a poor man

When i close my eyes i see visions

i think people can find the most comfort in the arts like music, film, television, and literature

indulging yourself in those things is better than arguing about religion, spirituality, and philosophy

Yes because I also believe in reincarnation, the Soul is continuously evolving and is being pushed to transform in this lifetime

Earth is just a stage for souls to develop and become free loving spiritual beings in the way they see fit

Thats why I wont knock on others beliefs whatever that strengthen your faith and makes you more moral conscious you should keep at it

curiosity is a great tool that nudges you in the direction that eventually leads you get a grasp of the bigger picture

eventually everyone gets redirected to the Christ even if not by name

I agree but a little upanishads and lsd is good for the soul occasionally

not educating yourself on your surroundings to be engrossed in only your bubble is a failure and reeks of privilege

d**** would've ruined my experience with buddhism and taoism

i live in new york city so you're wrong

Overall i completely agree i think just like i can talk about these topics with some accuracy a man like jesus could too

HOWEVER,it does not mean he is truly god himself

I dont believe that

You remind me of myself. You probably would have encountered some crazy dieties

what's different after you took d****? are you working every day? are you happy and not broke?
